39、il to“ speak ”with their teachers, their classmates and their families.

40、l!Because of the many cha nges in computer tech no logy, laptop use in higher educatio n, such as colleges and uni versities, is workable.

45、 program is not workable.The program is too expe nsive.C. The program is terrible.CTo face the musicLike every Ianguage, American English is full of special expressions, phrases thatcome from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expressi on today is“ to face the music.

46、 ”Whe n some one says,“ Well, I guess I ' ll have to face the music,” it does not meanhe' s pla nning to go to the con cert. It is somethi ng far less pleasa nt, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn is or that. ' t do th Sour music

47、in deed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or ano ther, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father' s angry v(“I want to talk to you!” and only because we did not obeyahimn pWaatantbus in ess it was!The phrase “ to face the music ” is familiar

48、 to every America n, young and old. It is atleast 100 years old. And where did this expressi on come from? The first expla nati oncomes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. Whe

49、n they got their cue 提示 to go on, they often said,“Well, it ' s time to face the music.that is exactly what they did-facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frighte ned or n ervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audie nee that might be friendly or perhap

50、s hostile, especially if he forgot his lines 台词.But he had to go out. If he did not, there woud be no play. So the expressi on“ to face the music ”c a me to mean “ hav ing to go through someth ing, no matter how un pleasa nt the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.Other expla nat

51、i ons about the expressi on go back to the army. When the men facedin specti on by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked.Was their equipme nt clea n, shi nny eno ugh to pass in specti on? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the in sp

52、ect ion. What else could they do?Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the resultsand accept ing the resp on sibility for someth ing that should not have bee n done. As for example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is disho n

53、o red. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.58. How many expla nati ons are men ti oned about the phrase“ to face the music ” ithe passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.59. What does the phrase

54、“ to face the music ” really mean?A. To face the stage.B. To face the back of the horse.C. To face one ' s leader or father.D. To face someth ing far less pleasa nt.Which of the follow ing occasi ons is the one we may have to face the music?A. Whe n we are play ing basketball in the playgro und.

55、B. Whe n we are making a speech before a lot of people.C. Whe n we are hav ing a party at ease with our teachers.D. When we are talking with somebody in secret.60. The un derl ined word “ hostile ” in the third paragraph means.A. unfrien dlyB. dislikeC. unkindD. unn ecessaryDOne might expect that th

56、e ever-grow ing dema nds of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the coun tries that receive the holiday-makers. In deed, a rosy picture is pain ted for the Ion g-term future of the holiday in dustry. Every month sees the build ing of a new hotel somewhere. And every month ano ther roc

57、k-bo und Pacific isla nd is advertised as the“last pa天堂ism(earth ”.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very thi ngs tourists want to enjo y. In those coun tries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the con crete

58、jun gles of en dless hotels have begu n to lose their appeal.Those coun tries with little experie nee of tourism can suffer most. I n rece nt years, Nepal set out to attract foreig n visitors to fund developme nts in health and educatio n. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more un touched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of t
